01

Bottle size How much finished liquid do you want?

InfoChubby Gorilla bottles actually hold a little more than the label says: a 60 ml bottle comfortably takes 60 ml of mixture, a 120 ml bottle 120 ml. For a new flavour, test 30 ml first and scale up from there. Up to 1 litre at a time: the set below then switches to the 1 litre base automatically and works out the number of shots for you.
02

Flavour dosage The share of flavouring in the total volume

total = ml
Info · Rough guidelines
  • Fruit, menthol, drinks: 5–10 %
  • Dessert, cream, pastry: 10–15 %
  • Tobacco: 8–12 %, let it steep for a long time
  • The manufacturer's figure on the bottle always takes priority. It's better to under-dose and add a little more later — too much flavouring tastes like perfume.
03

Nicotine The strength you want in the finished liquid

mg/ml
Too much nicotine for this bottle. With % flavouring, is the most that fits in ml. Reduce the nicotine or the flavouring.
Info · Which strength?Guidance by device and usage
  • Pod / MTL (cigarette-style draw): 6–12 mg; if you're switching from 20 or more cigarettes a day: 12–18 mg nicotine salt
  • Sub-Ohm / DL (lots of vapour): 1.5–3 mg, 6 mg at the very most
  • Nicotine gives a noticeable throat hit, nicotine salt is smooth and kicks in faster — ideal for pods and higher strengths.
04

Base The VG/PG ratio of the base used to top it up

Resulting finished liquid: — the shots are counted at .

No matching ready-made base in the shop. is something you mix yourself from pure VG and PG — the set below then contains only the shots.
Info · 50/50 or 70/30?
  • 50/50: thin, intense flavour, more throat hit — a must for pods and MTL devices, otherwise you'll get dry hits.
  • 70/30: thicker, dense vapour, smoother draw — the standard for sub-Ohm tanks.
  • 80/20 and Max VG: cloud chasing, only in powerful devices; if you're sensitive to PG, go for Max VG.
01

Longfill bottle Size of the bottle the flavouring already sits in

InfoA longfill is a large bottle with a small amount of flavouring inside — typically 10 ml. You add nicotine shots, top it up with base, give it a shake and you're done. The exact amount of flavouring is stated on the label.
02

Flavouring in the bottle

03

Nicotine Desired strength in the finished liquid

mg/ml
It doesn't fit in the bottle. With ml of flavouring, the maximum is .
01

Shortfill size Nicotine-free liquid that's deliberately over-strength

Info · ResultThe free space in the bottle is reserved for the shots: gives you . Want less nicotine? Swap half a shot for base.
InfoShortfills are pre-mixed liquids where the flavouring is dosed for the full bottle. That's why the shot doesn't dilute the taste.

Good to know

Everything that matters when mixing

The key rules at a glance – steeping, hardware and nicotine. Detailed questions are answered in the FAQ at the end.

Info

Steeping time

Fruit, menthol, drinks1–3 days
Dessert, cream, vanilla7–14 days
Tobacco, nut, coffee14–21 days

Tip: store in a dark place at room temperature and give it a quick shake daily. Steeping rounds off harsh edges – it doesn't replace richer flavour.

Info

50/50 or 70/30?

Pod system, MTL, coils over 1 Ω50/50
Sub-ohm tank, DL, lots of vapour70/30
Cloud chasing, RDA80/20+

Why: thick 70/30 base wicks too slowly through fine pod coils and tastes burnt (dry hit). Thin 50/50 base, on the other hand, leaks out of large sub-ohm tanks.

Info

Which strength suits me?

Orient yourself by device and previous consumption – it's no substitute for your own judgement. If in doubt, start with the lower strength; you can adjust it next time you mix. One click transfers the value to the calculator.

Occasional, MTL device3–6 mg
10–20 cigarettes a day, MTL9–12 mg
More than 20 a day, pod system12–18 mg nicotine salt
Sub-ohm / DL, lots of vapour1.5–3 mg

Nicotine vs. nicotine salt: freebase nicotine gives a throat hit and works more slowly; nicotine salt is smooth and hits fast – which is why high strengths belong in salt form and pods, never in sub-ohm devices.

Step by step

Mix your own e-liquid in four steps

DIY mixing costs a fraction of a ready-made 60 ml e-liquid – and the flavour, vapour and nicotine strength come out exactly right.

1

Calculate the recipe

Set your bottle size, flavour percentage and nicotine strength above. The calculator shows the exact amounts in millilitres.

2

Add flavour and shots

Pour the flavour into the empty bottle first, then the calculated amount of nicotine shot – a syringe makes this easiest.

3

Top up with base

Fill the rest up to the total volume with base in the matching ratio – 50/50 for pods, 70/30 for sub-ohm.

4

Shake and steep

Seal tightly, shake hard for two minutes and leave to steep in the dark for anything from one to 21 days, depending on the flavour.

PG and VG: which ratio fits?

Every base is made up of propylene glycol (PG – flavour carrier and throat hit) and vegetable glycerine (VG – vapour production and sweetness).

VG/PGPropertiesIdeal for
50/50Thin, intense flavour, noticeable throat hitPods, MTL
70/30Dense vapour, smooth draw, lightly sweetSub-ohm, DL
80/20Maximum vapour, minimal flavour carrierCloud chasing
Max VGFor PG-sensitive vapers, very thickRDA, heavy-duty tanks

Getting nicotine shots right

A 10 ml shot at 20 mg/ml contains 200 mg of nicotine. Divide that by the total volume and you get the strength.

Target60 ml bottle120 ml bottle
1.5 mg4.5 ml shot9 ml shot
3 mg9 ml shot (≈ 1 shot)18 ml shot (≈ 2 shots)
6 mg18 ml shot (≈ 2 shots)36 ml shot (≈ 4 shots)
12 mg36 ml shot (≈ 4 shots)72 ml shot (≈ 8 shots)

Formula: shot ml = total volume × target strength ÷ shot strength. The calculator above also accounts for the flavour percentage.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about mixing e-liquid

For 60 ml at 3 mg/ml you need 9 ml of a 20 mg shot – in practice almost a full 10 ml bottle. Use the whole shot and you land at 3.3 mg/ml, which makes no practical difference.
Classic nicotine shots give that traditional throat hit and kick in more slowly. Nicotine salt is very smooth thanks to its adjusted pH level, ramps up faster and is suited to pods and strengths from 6 mg upwards. The maths is the same for both.
Fruit and menthol are ready after 1–3 days; dessert and vanilla need 7–14 days; tobacco takes up to three weeks. Store cool, dry and dark, giving it a quick shake daily. Opened base and shots keep for many months this way.
The base is usually too thick for the hardware: 70/30 in a pod doesn't wick fast enough – dry hit. The opposite problem is too much classic nicotine causing harshness. For pods, use 50/50 and a maximum of 12 mg, either freebase or nicotine salt.
Yes. Switch to “Multiple” above and dose each flavour individually. The rule stays within the single-flavour range: two fruit flavours together should total 8–10 %, not 2 × 10 %.
